Question:

What should I consider when shopping for a mosquito killer?

If you want to buy a mosquito killer device, consider how it should be integrated into your yard. Where should you put it? First, site it between you and the places where mosquitoes live (forest, pond, stream, etc.).

*Make sure that the device is placed about 10 m (30 ft.) to 15 m (45 ft.) away from the area you want to protect (deck, pool, patio, etc.).

Recent Mosquito Control Questions

Q.
Hello, I am looking for something to control mosquitos when I go camping with my family. I do not want to use any deet, or other toxic measures. I was looking into acquiring a battery operated mosquito zapper (one that is designed to draw mosquitos in, not just a bug zapper), but can`t find any. Do you know who might have this? Or is there something else to try? We will be camping around lakes, creeks, etc. We have had problems in the past with excessive flies and knats also. Should I just stick to the old ways of putting citronella candles around? We do use a natural, non-toxic lotion, but I think we need something more.I would appreciate your input.
